Da soll was drin stehen über Fuchsia als mögliche Futterpflanze
http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/1 ... 0961882923Eventuell ist es aber auch nur Gesträuch, das im Forschungsgebiet wächst.
Dazu gibt es Hinweise, dass in Neuseeland eingeschleppte Fuchsia-Pflanzen von Possums bzw. Beutelgetier gefressen wird. Beispielsweise folgendes Snippet spuckt Google Scholar aus.
"For example, fuchsia, a highly pre- ferred possum food, was detected in 32 % of ..."

Herbivory
In many locations in New Zealand fuchsia has sustained heavy browsing by
introduced brushtail possums and deer and is in population decline
(Bellingham et al., 1999; Urlich and Brady, 2005). The population density of
possums varies among different forest types, as does their preferred diet.
Fuchsia is a preferentially palatable species in most forest types and
consequently is commonly used as a browse indicator (Payton et al., 1999).

Bei der Art handelt es sich allerdings um Fuchsia excorticata, eine der wenigen Neuseeländischen Arten:
